The Mission Lyrics
The song The Mission is performed by Queensrÿche in the album named Operation: Mindcrime in the year 1990 .
Send The Mission Ringtone to your Cell
Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can't explain this holy pain
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again, they've got my number
Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game
I'll wait here for days longer
'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
She brings the only friend that helps me find my way
I search the past back to a time when I was younger
A target for the new society
Picked to displace the leaders
Countering objectives of this new underground reality
Waiting for days longer
'Til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
My love for her will help me find my way
(They'll say)
My mission saved the world
I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around
I look around, my room is filled with candles
Each one a story but they end the same
I'll hide away in here the law will never find me
The walls will tell the story of my pain
Waiting for days longer
'Til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
She sets the pace for my delivery of pain
(They'll say)
My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
The underground
(They'll say)
Will rise and save this world
We'll all stand proud
Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
We'll all stand proud
